In terms of better testing I now need to
concentrate on finding an
application that run without creating xruns within the application
itself. At higher latency values (p=256 for instance) alsaplayer -r -o
jack runs pretty well, but as I move to lower latencies I find that
alsaplayer deterministically creates xruns at the transistion between
every song on a CD. I also tried alsaplayer playing wave files from
disk, but I see xruns as it goes from one file to the next also.
I want to try using chrt to see if alsaplayer is really getting
real-time access, etc. Maybe there are things still not right with the
way I'm running it on my box.
I sometimes see problems with alsaplayer at low latencies, too.
Generally below -p128 or so.
Is there any other simple app that could play a
wave file from, for
instance, memory without this sort of problem?
I've had good luck with hydrogen. Play one of the demo drum patterns.
So, the good news is my Gentoo system is not
broken, and that I've
hopefully learned a bit and contributed just a little bit more along
the way. That said I still have a long ways to go.
Good work.
